4PL consulting

Assessment and mapping of the operation, the Fast Assessment.

Planning and operations

Daily follow up, automation, workflow, auditing and performance review.

Technology

Proprietary platform, with continuous development.

Excellence and ESG

Process evolution and sustainable management of operations.

The real problem

Logistics does not break for lack of trucks. It breaks for lack of coordination.

When each link optimises its own slice, the bill for the whole goes up.

Nobody knows where the load is

It arrives by phone, spreadsheet and email, always too late.

Door to door tracking in the Portal, with production and shipment follow up.

Production line idle waiting for material

No sync between supplier, transport and the line sequence.

JIT, JIS and Kanban with pull flow and automatic replenishment by minimum and maximum.

Expensive freight and empty trucks

Every link optimises its own cost and the chain bill goes up.

Milk run, consolidation, cross docking and routing across the entire network.

Inventory that does not match

Physical and fiscal diverge, obsolete stock piles up and capital sits still.

Cycle counting, turnover control, slow moving management and WMS.

Suppliers deliver off the agreement

With no measurement, the conversation becomes an argument about perception.

Delivery, quality and documentation accuracy indicators per supplier.

Many operators, no single view

Each partner sends its own report, on its own schedule.

Web service integration and one single performance dashboard for the chain.

The positioning

ILC is not one more operator. It is the one who coordinates them all.

It contracts, integrates and holds the other operators accountable on your behalf.

One integrates the chain, the other shows the load in motion.

Portal Integrator

Your 4PL control tower

Proprietary system, customised per operation. Shipper, carriers and the ILC team look at the same operation at the same time.

  • The client places the order with the delivery date and time
  • Analysts brief suppliers, select the carrier and the mode, from milk run to full truckload
  • Load building optimiser and vehicle definition
  • Real time monitoring with truck location on the map

Smart Tracking

Field data, as it happens

Used by partner drivers and by carrier and shipper teams. Every event feeds the Portal Integrator the moment it happens.

  • Tracking, with real time driver movement
  • Document management for the trip and the delivery
  • Pickup, delivery and cross docking recorded at source
  • Geolocation active only during the contracted activity, ending with it
Main deliverable

ILC builds and runs the control tower for your chain

It is not a dashboard for you to watch on your own. It is an ILC team following the operation in real time and acting before the problem reaches you.

Special solution

Express freight with a carrier auction

Urgency does not have to mean hiring without competition.

When a pickup is urgent, the easy path is to call the first available carrier and accept the price. ILC opens an auction among homologated carriers, segmented by product category and region, so urgency stops costing whatever the market decides to charge.

How it works

  1. 01 Request The client registers the pickup need in the Portal Integrator: origin, destination, weight, volume and window.
  2. 02 Freight auction ILC opens the auction among homologated carriers, segmented by product category and by region.
  3. 03 Carrier selection The bid is approved and the certificates required by the client are validated before acceptance.
  4. 04 Pickup execution Operation start, arrival, pickup, departure and delivery, followed in real time.
  5. 05 Load follow up Receiving check, handling of non conformity and discrepancy, with part number level tracking.
  6. 06 Closure ILC closes the request and updates the status in Integrator, which can connect to the client ERP.

ILC coordinates every link and gives you back a chain that behaves like a single operation.

End to end visibility

Decisions driven by data

Indicators instead of perception, in your hands and in ILC hands.

Performance that holds

Gains that stay, because they become routine.

Since 2016

The ILC 4PL was not bought off the shelf. It was built operation by operation.

Almost nobody in Brazil operated under the 4PL concept. The Portal Integrator was developed in house and is customised per client chain.

  1. Origin In 2016 ILC is founded as an integrator With the conviction that technology would be the future of logistics.
  2. Platform Integrator developed in house Inbound and outbound management customised per operation, with everyone in the same environment.
  3. Field Smart Tracking brings data to the dashboard Partner drivers record pickup, delivery and cross docking at source.
  4. Today 4PL control tower Real time monitoring, colour coded status and indicators for the entire chain.
Frequently asked

What shippers ask us

What is a 4PL operator and why does it change anything?

A 3PL runs one slice of logistics. A 4PL orchestrates the whole chain: it contracts, integrates and holds the other operators accountable on behalf of the shipper.

Does ILC own a fleet?

No, and that is deliberate. Without a fleet, ILC selects the best mode and partner for each flow, using total chain cost as the criterion.

Does ILC operate inside my plant?

Yes, in house inside your plant or outsourced in a distribution centre. The method, the WMS and the indicators are the same.

How does integration with my ERP work?

By web service, in real time, with your ERP and with supplier and carrier systems.

Which indicators does ILC track?

Delivery by date and by transit time, information and documentation accuracy, quality and non conformity, cost, productivity and load optimisation.

How long until the operation goes live?

It depends on the size of the chain. The path is the same: assessment, solution design, integration and go live, with indicators from day one.
